IMPROVEMENT IN LAMP-BURNERS.

TO ALL WI-IOM IT MAY CONCERN: y l

Be it known that we, Bonner I-IOADLEY and A. Snrrnnn, of Ansonirnin thecounty of New Haven, and State of Connecticut, have invented a newImprovement inLamp-Burners; and we do hereby declare the following,,when taken in connectionwith the accompanyingdrawings and the lettersout' reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exactdescription ofthe same, and whichV said drawings constitute part of thisSpecication, and represent, in

Figure .1, a side view,

Figure 2, a vertical section, and, in A Y Figure 8, they plate betweenthe base and the delector, to illustrate its manner of construction.

4 This invention relates to an improvement in that class of burnersdesigned for burning kerosene and similar oils, and consists in thepeculiar construction and arrangement for the support of'the chimney,and for the attachment of the deileetor theretm y To enable others toconstructeur improvement, we will proceed to describe the s a'me asillustrated in the accompanying drawings. v

A isl the neck, to he attached to`, the lamp in the usual manner, landinto which the base is secured, The base, B, is formed with a threadedshoulder; and fro-m the shoulder three or mor'e arms, C, extend up andare secured to the plate D by 'soldering each thereto in theusual'manner. The said plate D isformed as seen in Iig. 3, cut from aplate of sheet metal ofthe proper thickness, and with points, E E, 85o.,extending from its edge, and between which other similar but shorterpoints, F F, 'tc., are formcd,`and'an opening, G, through the centre forthe tube, and the balance of the plate perforated, so as t9 permit theair tovpa'ss freely therethrough.

i The points E are, in proper dies, turned up, as seen in ivrl, Whilethe points F are turned down, and their ends hooked, as seen in fig. 1,to form a seat for the..chimney,'as seen in Iig. f?. The points E,extending up into the chimney, are, from the nature ofv thc metal,somewhat elastic, so as to bear against the inside of the chimney, tohold the chimney firmly in itsseat, and yet so vas to allow its removalvtherefrom by taking hold of the chimney, and lifting it-from its side.i

VThe tube I is inserted through the plate and base, andsecured'therei'n, and provided wit'h'a wick-adjuster, L, in the usualmanner. i l "I l H is the detlect-or, formed so as to set uponth'evplateD, and ivith tonguesyz, projectingdownnard there from, as seenin g. 2, so 'as to pass through slots, d, in the plate D, and so thatthe tongues will hold the delector on to the plate, so that, While itmay be readily removed (intentionally) therefrom, it cannot beaccidentally removed. Y

The outer row of `perforations through the, plate D open directly intothe -chimneyoutside the deflector, While those within the circumferenceof thedeflector open directly into the decctor, as seen in iig. 2, A Theopen base permits-the air to pass thusfreelyland' in greatquantity'directly to the blaze. The deiector is removable, for thepurpose of trimming the wick.

By this construction, the chimney, at its base, is little attracted bythe heatriro'm thevblnze, so that, at any time, the chimney may beremoved by taking hold near its bese, and all extra attachments forsecuring the chimney are dispensed with, the internal vertical'lspringsEbeing Athe only mea-ns, and all that is required, for securing thechimney to the burner. i

We do not claim supporting this chimney upon hooks dependent from theburner, so as to support the cliimg'iey below the vllame; but

What We claim asnew and useful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is

The perforated plate D, in combination with the detlector H and thehase, B, when the said plate is .arranged in the manner described, andconstructed in one and the same piece with the vertical springs E andthechimney supporters F, substantially as set forth.
